Polymer Separators
A polymer separator is a permeable membrane placed between the anode and cathode of a battery. The main function of a separator is to keep the positive and negative electrodes, the cathode and anode respectively, apart to prevent electrical short circuits while also allowing the transport of ionic charge carriers which are needed to complete the circuit during the passage of current in an electrochemical cell.[1]
